Got this tiger a couple of months ago at Smith Street Tattoo.

Oh you getting tattooed on the 8th? I'll most likely be chasing walk-ins 10-12th. I'm in NY 6-14 :)

Cheers. I will do my very best not to act touristy... haha.

Thanks. Yeah there are certainly many to choose from :)

Never heard of them, but looks promising. Thanks for the tip.

Hey gang! I'm going to NYC for the very first time in about 10 days. Would love to get a souvenir tattoo whilst I'm there, but cannot commit to a date or time. So I'm trying to make a list of great shops that do walk-ins. The only one I have so far is Smith Street Tattoo - I have a piece by Eli Quinters and would love another one. Any and all advice appreciated.

Continuing to slowly cover my legs. Here is my latest... Pharaohe's Horses meets Veganism. By Joel Soos, Sanctum Tattoo, Stockholm.

Excited to be getting a Johan Svahn dragon on my lower arm in a couple of weeks.

The "Lord" works in mysterious ways, amirite?

Thanks!

I meant scars. The photo was taken today, about a month after the final scabs fell off.

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely look into that. All my tattoos up until now have been completely dry healed, and this is the first time I've had scars form. Not a huge deal, just want to prevent it from happening with the next one. Yeah it's definitely an area that is difficult to keep still. Basically, every time I twisted my arm the scab broke slightly.

A couple of months ago I had the inside of my forearm tattooed. Healing it was a bitch and despite taking as much care as I could, I ended up getting some scars and colour loss. I was tattooed at a convention with an artist who travels a lot, so unfortunately having it touched up really isn't an option. Anyway, in a few weeks I will be getting my other forearm tattooed so I'm basically looking for tips on how to avoid this happening again.

This weekend I took a big step in my tattoo journey. I now have a "highly-visible in every day life" tattoo on the inside of my forearm.

Sounds awesome. Will be interesting to see what he comes up with. I'm getting a Kali, so that should be fun.

Ah, that's what I suspected. I'm actually getting tattooed by Chad as well. What are you getting?

I think I'd prefer sweating in a pair of jeans over wearing those in public... haha. Discomfort is temporary, tattoos are forever.

Haha, it was only a matter of time before I ran out of coolness. Ace bandage, that's a great idea - will cover it, and should be breathable as well. Cheers.

A couple of days ago I jumped on the chance to get my leg tattooed next Friday. It wasn't until I had booked and paid my deposit that I realised that I'm going to a music festival in Croatia 5 days later. Obviously I'll stay out of the water completely, and the sun as much as possible. It will most likely be around 30 degrees celcius (85F) though, so wearing jeans the whole time might be hellish. Trying to think if there might be some other type of trousers that I can buy that will help cover up my calf, and keep me cooler than jeans would. Damn!

Just over a week left until the Bash... Anyone else going? @mmikaoj? I'm getting tattooed on the Friday, so I'll be there then. Not sure if it's worth going more than one day though.

Got my "MOM" tattoo yesterday.

No doubt most people are based in the US. Although I figured since the tattoo scene is pretty big in Copenhagen there should at least be a few on here. The convention was quite small (again, comparing to London), and most of the artists were... underwhelming.

I realise now why I didn't get any responses to this thread. Really disappointed with the convention... Might not be fair to compare it to the London one, but still, I had higher expectations from Copenhagen.

I'm getting one in 10 days, just in time for Swedish Mother's Day which is on the 31st.
